How do you all feel about bots?

I've seen a gpt powered summarization bot pop up recently. Do you find this useful? Do you hate this?

Do you think bots serve any useful purposes on this website or do you think we should ban all bots? Should we have a set of rules for how bots should interact - only when called, needing to explicitly call out they are a bot on their profile, etc?

I'd love to hear your thoughts

You don't even have to block them individually. If you uncheck "show bot accounts" in the settings, they are all gone.

Now if it's a bot account not registered as a bot account, circumventing that setting, that should be banned.
